CHRIST THE KING Keeps On Winning BY ROBE RT ELKIN [email protected], @timesnewsweekly No one was able to stop Rawle Alkins and his teammate as the Royals varsity basketball team from Christ the King High School managed to defeat the Xaverian High School team in the championship game of the Brooklyn- Queens Diocesan section of the playoffs. Christ the King won 21 of 25 games heading into the contest last week. Christ the King had another banner year in the Catholic High School Athletic Association regular season. Now they seek to defend the title in the CHSAA intersectional tournament. And if they do, then they will shoot for the state tournament title. In each game, they usually have a strong and large support before packed crowds from their student body. Alkins seems to be one of the top players in the league, city and state. A junior, Alkins, a 6-foot 5-inch shooting guard, already has some offers from colleges, but he has to continue with his excellent play during the remainder of the playoffs and next year as a senior as well. “Xaverian played great,” said Christ the King’s head coach Joe Arbitello, in his seventh year as the helm of the program, after CTK’s 66-59 victory over Xaverian. “My hat is off to Xaverian and coach Jack Alesi. Those guys were not stopping.” After the score read 56-50 in favor of Xaverian, with 6:40 left in regulation time, Arbitello called time out. Christ the King managed to win it on a 16-3 run. “Rawle started to block some shots,” Arbitello said. “He got three key blocked shots for us. He played like an MVP on both sides of the floor.” Some other players also came up with big plays to help Alkins out. “Jared Rivers came up huge for us,” continued the veteran coach. “Jose Alvarado and Tyrone Cohen were also outstanding. And we played very good defense. We took the game over. That’s the way we win games.” Assistant coach Greg Lemko agreed. “After Arbitello called time out, we played great defense,” he said. “And we stepped it up.” “This young man at Christ the King is a heck of a player,” said Mike McGovern, who runs the finance department for Xaverian. “He took over the game, which super stars should do. They beat us twice and we beat them once.” Both teams will advance to the intersectional tournament.
